The girls walk arm-in-arm, laughing through the quiet late-night streets of Manchester Bay, celebrating their homecoming weekend. But arriving home, the laughter dies. Their best friend Cami lies still on the floor, hair splayed on the carpet, and rope marks all around her throat...
When university student Cami Margot is found murdered, Agent Tori Hunter and Detective Will Braddock are among the first on the scene. For Tori, the image of this smart young woman with her whole life ahead of her being hunted down is instantly seared in her mind. The team quickly realizes the murder weapon-a purple, gray and black nylon rope-is an exact match of that used in the murder of another student.
Tori teaches Criminal Justice at the university. Knowing the students trust her implicitly, Tori asks questions all over campus and soon learns that both girls were members of Lake Frat. The group plan secret parties at each other's lakeside homes, away from prying eyes... and when the rope is linked to a boat from one of the parties, it's clear the girls were killed by one of their own.
Does a psychopath walk amongst the university students, attend their classes, join in their parties, cheer at their sporting events all while plotting their next kill? The students ask Tori: could they be next? Someone has been hunting these girls. But Tori is a hunter, too... even if the prey is closer to home than she ever thought possible.
A totally addictive crime thriller that will have you racing through the pages late into the night! Anyone who loves Debra Webb, Kendra Elliot and Robert Dugoni will be completely hooked.
